it would definitely a different result and favorable to the national team to the fans and critics

James Yap is one of my favorite player in the PBA and at age 25 yrs.old, He is probably one of the most successful PBA Player of all time.

Just check his awards, stats and accomplishment in the the 1st 3 years of his proffessional career.

James Yap is lethal in the open court and very dangerous with his jumpshots and devil drives towards the hoop... a cross between Samboy Lim and Allan Caidic... a second MVP award for the Escalante, Negros Occidental native could be in the offing but he must practise consistency and learn to take charge for the Giants.

how about defense?
dude my cousin saw him play in the jones cup and he told me that james yap was grimacing and agonizing under the paint during the bumps and grind of mad rebound scramble againts the bigger arabs. hes having a hard time in the squeeze play in international competitions. to be exact his defense and toughness under the board is quite defective. im talking about the international games perspective. here in the philippines of course he will excell because of so so compititions. but bring him outside the country. i dont know if he can get those kind of stats. my cousins in the states dare me if he can even make it to the roster of the elite us div 1 team or any european ballclub.

Bro some of the highly touted Div 1 player from US didn't make it big in the PBA as an import..
I believe he can play or he do have the talent to play there. with his unique style of shooting ( close to Ray Allen where they are releasing the ball on the peak of their jump ) which is hard to block by some players standing same as his height or taller than him. and also his ability to make his own shot when needed. btw, im not a James Yap fanatic :D im just pointing here that James Yap is not the usual Filipino Player that your cousin is thinking.. he can make it big at any given sunday..:)
And for the last Jones Cup, its obvious he was not in condition. maybe (one of the reason why he was cut from the final roster).. after coming from some marital issues with his wife its hard to gauge his true arsenal..

Purefoods TJ Giants- 96
Sta. Lucia Realtors- 89

Final Score

Best Player:

James Yap- 29 pts 5 rebs 3/5 3pt FGs

http://www.visayandailystar.com/2006/July/22/pix/james%20yap.jpg

Great Game for both team in the start of the conference and It is a come from behind victory for the TJ Giants lead by James Yap, who scored 29 points and help the TJ Giants to beat the Sta. Lucia Realtors after PJ Simon was thrown out in the game after committing 2 technical fouls in the 2nd half.

Overall the Purefoods TJ Giants are one of the most underrated team this conference but they added some nice acquisition like Rookie Robert Franz, Ardy Larong and 5'10" PG Chico Lanete.

Nice game also from Roger Yap who added 16 points and facilitate Purefoods offense since the start of the ball game.

James Carlos Yap, Sr. (born February 15, 1982), from Escalante, Negros Occidental, is a Filipino professional basketball superstar for the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He was a 2005-2006 season's Most Valuable Player, and is now fast becoming one of the most promising personalities in the professional ranks. Now in his fourth year, he is already a four-time PBA South All-Star team starter through 2004 to 2007.

UAAP Most Valuable Player (2003)
UAAP Mythical First Team, member (2003)
PSA player of the year (amateur basketball -- 2003)
PBL Mythical First Team member (2003-2004)
PBA Most Valuable Player (2005-06)

Yap is married to ABS-CBN host-actress, & Purefoods image model Kris Aquino, the daughter of slain former senator, Benigno Aquino, Jr. and former President Corazon Aquino. Yap and Aquino's relationship was rumored as early as 2005 before they acknowledged this on various interviews. In various interviews in 2006, both admitted to have tied the knot as early as mid-2005, July 10, to be exact in a civil rites and kept the marriage unknown to the public. The couple is expecting to have a baby on May 6, 2007 via ceasarian section.

His marriage with Aquino was recently rocked by the revelation of a former receptionist from Belo Medical Group named Hope that she had a relationship with James,[11] which he vehemently denied in an interview with Korina Sanchez.[12]

This eventually led to Kris asking for "space" with the star cager. James denied the receptionist's allegations in a press statement. The issue has since died down after the Kris' pregnancy.

On April 19, 2007 his first son to Kris was born. The baby boy's name was James Aquino Yap, was born in Makati Medical Center, Makati City at 5:08 pm local time.He is 4.3 lbs.He is baptized on May 19,2007 at Don Bosco Church in Makati,with 10 godparents. As of this writing the baby is now the youngest endorser in this side of the world.

from PEx

calling all the former varsity players, who in one way or another, were hard luck in landing a spot in the big leagues, ballers or whoever here who got the skills and the attitude to make it big on the hardcourt:

from the series of tryouts, the top 50 will be chosen.. then the 50 select players will be trimmed down to 25, which will be housed in a 3-day camp somewhere outside manila...

from the 25, the top 10 will be selected and will be trained to play a commercial basketball team...

the mythical 5 (top 5) players will receive major prizes. the best player from the team, who will be selected by coach norman & his staff and thru sms voting, will win a million worth of prizes and a tv contract...

You are not completely right on that

Joe Alexander was actually born in Taiwan , in the city of Kaohsiung. However, When he was eight, his family relocated to China where he lived for six years in Hong Kong and Beijing:(where attended High School). He's also fluent in Mandarin (obviously, LOL)

Very nicely put. I also think its part of our (sick?) sense of humor. Just like when Manila Boys make fun of how people from the provinces mispronounce tagalog. I wonder though if those guys from the provinces make fun of Manila Boys when they try to speak their province's lingo with a different accent.
